OK, I will add that this newsletter supports Dev Engagement's top goals around driving Apps to Marketplace for FxOS phone launch - so it supports a Mozilla high priority too

Newsletter subscription will be a key metric of success for developers who will attend the upcoming apps events. We've got >8K subscribers now, so with your help this will be a meaningful comms channel for apps developers. 

We had strong open rate and click-through results/great metrics w/our Nov 27 mailing. </pitch>

Daniel:

Are the graphics in the attachment the final ones? A couple of questions:

1. In the one located at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/, clicking on the input field displays secondary content below (a dropdown for country, a choice to receive html or text and a checkbox to agree to the privacy policy). In your attachment, the design would not work with such a layout (gray arrow would not "stretch" with the variable height of the box)

2. Which one of the graphics in your attachment are necessary and which are nice-to-have? It seems like it might be better to keep it as minimal as possible since there are already many icons on the landing page and other icons in the secondary pages.

3. Any particular reason why we are using the green button instead of the standard blue?

I added the confirmations as a slide down panel. I will get you (Edna) those three icons today.

Howdy - I thought this was going to be live now, so we can start driving app day attendees to this page to subscribe. Any update on ETA?:

(I will request copy changes for consistency of naming in a new bug. Thanks!)

What was this reverted? Bugs? We needed the feature out for this week's app day events across the globe, please advise on soonest available delivery time.

[Daniel Buchner [:dbuc]]

*Why* was this reverted?

***shakes fist at lack of Bugzilla edit capability***

Comment 14

[Andy McKay]

Because it took down the whole site due to issues with the basket client package. Now that the package is stable it can be re-added.

I'd like to special-case a push for this if possible. Our representatives at these app events will be pointing people at this. What is the process for such a release?

Code will need to be finished before we can talk about special casing a push.  Next standard push window is Thursday at 2pm.

Edna/cvan: Is this ready to launch this week? Did it land on master? The -dev site seems to indicate so. If my assumptions are right, will you close the bug?

It's on master and is ready to go out today (1/24) at 2 PM PST. As Andy and Wil mentioned above, the code was not ready for last week's push. Apologies for the delays!
